In August 2022, I completed 2,710 miles of the TransAmerica Trail on my 2021 Honda CT125. Mostly solo, I traveled from Denver, CO, to Port Orford, OR in 15 days. Prior to this trip, I took a 164 miles trip, and camped off my motorcycle once. I also got my motorcycle license two months before leaving for the TAT.

I camped most nights and completed a number of repairs along the way. I was asked a few times how I packed so light (a necessity for such a small bike), so here’s what I packed.

The last clip of my commentary is just some thoughts on how you can prepare and break down this part of the trip so you focus on getting on a motorcycle and take the back roads!
